Published: Mar 6, 2025 05:45 pm

One of the main draws of Suikoden (and its sequels) is the 108 Stars of Destiny recruitable throughout the adventure. Recruiting every Star results in a special ending and “The Stars of Destiny Assembled” Achievement/Trophy in Suikoden I and II HD Remaster. This guide covers all 108 Stars of Destiny in Suikoden and how to recruit them, entirely spoiler free!
